TL;DROur verdict on Anonymous Proxies, in 5 facts
- 1Veteran Romanian provider (DR SOFT S.R.L) selling proxies since 2010 - real site is anonymous-proxies.net, not the parked anonymousproxies.net
- 2Offers residential, datacenter, ISP, mobile and SOCKS5 proxies plus VPN/tunnel protocols (Shadowsocks, WireGuard, Trojan, Amnezia, DNS)
- 3Hand-pick individual IPs by subnet, country, state, city and ISP; entry pricing around $2.20 per proxy
- 4Pays with Bitcoin and major cards; unlimited bandwidth on static plans, 24/7 live chat, instant activation
- 5No scraping API or unblocker, no broad free trial, narrow refund policy, and a modest pool - best for budget privacy and targeted-IP use, not large-scale scraping
The verdict
Benchmark data and published specifications — here's where Anonymous Proxies lands.
- Operating since 2010 with a stated 100,000+ customers - a genuinely long-established provider
- Unusually wide menu: datacenter, ISP, residential, mobile and SOCKS5 proxies plus Shadowsocks, Trojan, DNS, WireGuard and Amnezia VPN tunnels
- Granular pick-your-IP control down to subnet, country, state, city and ISP
- Very low entry pricing - calculator starts around $2.20 per proxy with flexible monthly/quarterly/annual billing
- Accepts Bitcoin alongside major credit cards
- Unlimited bandwidth on static products, instant activation and 24/7 live-chat support
- Buy proxies individually instead of fixed bundles, with both username/password and IP-whitelist auth
- Modest IP pool (reported ~7M rotating plus a small static pool) compared with major providers
- No scraping API, web unblocker or SERP API - lacks the automation tooling newer rivals bundle
- Dated website with thin documentation and little marketing polish
- Narrow refund policy (refunds mainly for non-delivery) and no broad free trial
- Stated '100+ locations' likely overstates distinct country coverage (reviews suggest ~30-40 countries)
- Small, mixed third-party review base including complaints about dead IPs and refund friction

What we think after testing Anonymous Proxies
Editorial review by Maya Cortez · last updated Jul 16, 2026
Anonymous Proxies (anonymous-proxies.net) is a long-running proxy seller operated by DR SOFT S.R.L of Branesti, Ilfov, Romania. The site advertises that it has been selling proxies since 2010 and claims more than 100,000 customers, which makes it one of the older, lower-profile names in the market. It is not a venture-backed mega-provider with a slick scraping suite; it is a no-frills, control-first proxy shop that has quietly served the same audience for well over a decade. Note one practical gotcha up front: the bare domain anonymousproxies.net (no hyphen) is a parked domain listed for sale, so the real product lives at the hyphenated anonymous-proxies.net.
The defining feature here is breadth of proxy and tunnel types under one roof. According to the product menu, Anonymous Proxies offers datacenter proxies, ISP proxies, backconnect proxies, rotating residential proxies, rotating mobile proxies, rotating datacenter proxies, and SOCKS5 proxies, plus a set of privacy tunnels most competitors do not bother with: Shadowsocks, Trojan, Smart DNS proxies, WireGuard VPN, and Amnezia VPN. So you get the standard residential/ISP/datacenter/mobile lineup alongside encrypted-tunnel options aimed at censorship circumvention and anonymous browsing. HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKSv5 are all supported, and the static products advertise unlimited bandwidth with both username/password and IP-whitelist authentication.
Where the service stands out is granular, pick-your-IP control. Rather than handing you an opaque pool, the dashboard lets you choose individual IPs by subnet, city, state and country, and even filter by ISP (the site notes ISP-specific IPs cost a bit more). City and country targeting are clearly supported; ASN-level targeting is not advertised. The provider also markets specific use cases - ad verification, price and brand monitoring, website uptime checks, anonymous browsing, and platform-specific proxies (YouTube, LinkedIn, Amazon). Geographic coverage is stated by the site as 100+ locations, though several independent reviews put the practical country count lower, in the 30-40 range, so treat the 100+ figure as locations rather than distinct countries. On pool size, third-party reviews report roughly 7 million+ rotating IPs alongside a comparatively small static residential pool (on the order of a few thousand), so this is a modest pool by industry standards - the diversity of types compensates more than raw scale does.
Pricing is genuinely budget-friendly and unusually flexible. The on-site calculator starts at about $2.20 per proxy, and reviews cite entry points around $2.20-$3.00 per proxy per month depending on type, with billing available monthly, quarterly, bi-annually and annually (longer terms discount the per-proxy rate). You buy proxies individually rather than in fixed bundles, with a per-order cap noted around 100 IPs. Payment methods include Bitcoin (the site shows a 'Pay with bitcoin' option) plus major cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Discover, Diners and JCB. Activation is instant, and support is offered via 24/7 live chat.
This provider is best suited to privacy-minded individuals, small teams, and operators who want hand-picked static IPs (dedicated SOCKS5/HTTPS), encrypted tunnels, or affordable city/ISP-targeted proxies for monitoring, geo-unblocking and anonymous browsing. It is a poor fit for large-scale web-scraping operations that need an unblocker, a SERP API, or a managed scraping API - Anonymous Proxies does not offer those tools, a limitation multiple reviewers flag. The dashboard provides direct, backconnect and API-style proxy delivery, but there is no scraping/automation product layer on top.
The caveats are real and worth weighing. The website looks dated and marketing is thin, so documentation and onboarding polish lag behind newer entrants. There is no broad free trial (a trial is mentioned only for rotating residential), and the refund policy is narrow - the site grants a refund mainly when it fails to deliver the proxies or the service does not work as advertised, with no clean money-back window in days. Reputation is mixed: Trustpilot carries a small review base (roughly 34-36 reviews) with mostly positive, loyalty-driven feedback - some customers cite 10+ years of use, good uptime and responsive tickets - but also a handful of sharp complaints about dead IPs, an unreliable VPN add-on and refund friction. The small sample size means you should read those reviews as signal, not gospel.
